It can't be easy training so many different ages and skill levels to dance, but they manage to make everyone feel welcome and teach at the level you need. I was a ballet dancer growing up, so need a lot of instruction on ballroom style and technique, but can pick up dance steps quickly. My husband is a martial artist with absolutely zero dance experience. He has different strengths and challenges from me in learning to dance. Rafia manages to teach each of us at our levels without either of us being bored or frustrated. And we're always having fun and laughing in our lessons. The instructors are great in keeping it focused but fun and relaxed. We've been with the studio for 2 years now. The way this Arthur Murray works is, you pay for the private lessons, and as long as you do at least one every two weeks, you can go to unlimited group classes, which they typically have each night during the week (depending on your level, you might be able to attend 3-4 of them). When you start, an instructor will ask which dances you're interested in, if you know, and help you figure out where you want to start. They offer pretty much every ballroom dance under the sun. We're most interested in the latin dances, so have been learning Cha Cha, Tango, Argentine Tango, Salsa, Rumba, Merengue and Samba. We've also sprinkled in some Swing, Country, Waltz and Foxtrot just from attending group classes. They start with basic steps, and each dance has a syllabus, so you progress carefully, consistently and thoughtfully into more complex movements. They're great about COVID social distancing. Everyone is always wearing a mask correctly - students and teachers. If you're worried about being in public, they offer Zoom lessons, or you could just opt to do personal lessons rather than come to the groups (which is what we've been doing for months.) On a bigger picture, if you're thinking of learning ballroom dance, get out there and do it. I've wanted to for years but felt held back by time and cost. Now that I'm doing it, I so wish I had found a way to start earlier. It's a really therapeutic part of my week. I get to take time out for myself, connect with my husband (there's a lot of work in the simple act of leading and following), and train in something I hope will continue with us for a lifetime. Plenty of people aren't partnered and take lessons alone. The instructors are wonderful for that as well, and group classes, if you're comfortable with the idea of dancing with others, allow you to meet and practice with other people - both partnered and solo, as the instructors always give the option to each student on whether they want to switch partners or not. I cannot recommend this studio highly enough. Give it a try!

I'm so thankful to have found this place. Dance has been a dream of mine since I was a girl. (My…read moreeyes would tear up watching any live dance performance. But I didn't have the opportunity to pursue that dream.) As an adult, most options were barred by my work schedule, the price-tag, or prerequisite experience. There were a few exceptions--times when I've slipped into ballet shoes and into an adult dance class. But, despite my desire to learn, I'd fall behind, feeling like an outsider in a club for the more experienced. Thankfully, since moving to Loveland last year, I noticed SlapStep Studio online. The location (near King Soopers on E 29th St), and the price-tag ($25 two week trial), made it convenient to try. I jumped into 4 classes the first week, and returned to two classes the second week. I found all the instructors to be helpful and insightful, reminding me of some of my favorite yoga instructors, as they highlight muscles used for each move. Bonnie's Lyrical dance on Thursdays is emotive, and unites the entire body for poetic, fluid motions. In Vixen or other classes, Marlene's dance expertise and care is evident in her smile and elegant display of each glide and gesture. You don't need to have prior experience to join beginner classes, and instructors and fellow students are encouraging and positive. Marlene's classes especially draw dancers from a span of ages--from twenty-something to retired. In every class, including Flora's Pound Fit on Friday, there were ecstatic moments where all levels and ages danced together harmoniously. Thanks for making dance classes for grown ups of all levels, and for the introductory offer of $25 for two weeks. (Also, I should be able to afford the $55 for 4 classes a month, but I'm searching for a job right now.) Hope this studio and its students are around for a long time!

The classes that I tried with their 2-week unlimited class deal were fun, very well taught, and in a clean, bright, spacious studio with a beautiful sprung wood dance floor. Everything was very professional, yet personalized, so that I have been really excited to go back and try more classes! Marlene's Vixen class really got my heart pumping, yet was slow enough for me to learn the dance steps, easily, and it was jazzy! Flora's PoundFit class with the drum sticks is unique, and a great workout, followed by revitalizing relaxation techniques! I am so happy to find this wonderful, new dance studio! It's a great way to have fun while getting fit! There is plenty of parking in the Orchard Shopping Center, too!

Lots of different things to keep them busy including a big pirate ship, pulley chairs, art room, etc. I loved how they had some older telephones, switch boards, etc. so kids could actually experience some of these items not commonly used or seen today. It was fun to let them explore those and play with them. As a bilingual family, we appreciated how everything was presented in English/Spanish. I did feel like some of the displays were a little run down. Likewise the prices were steep, especially for adults. I really think since adult presence is required, it really shouldn't cost more than $3 per adult. Bathrooms were fairly clean. Place seemed stuck in the Covid era which I wasn't a fan of. Time to move on! This isn't the museum's fault but the day we went the kids there were a bit out of control and rude. That dampened our experience a little bit. They had a little area where families could sit and eat snacks. That was nice for taking a break, especially if you stay for a while. It was a fun one time excursion but I wouldn't return. We have a lot of fun places much closer to us that cost a lot less!
